What kind of paint do you use to paint a fiberglass pool and do you need a primer?

You should use exactly the same "pool paint" used originally, when the pool was manufactured. It's called gelcoat and can only be purchased online. Until 1999, fiberglass pool owners were forced to use epoxy, which lasts only a few years before chaulking, peeling, and cracking. Now there's a product called fibre-shelkote which is exactly the same formulation that lasted more than 20 years after your pool was built. But you'll need to call a sandblasting contractor to remove the old gelcoat before you can roll-on the new stuff.
Hum, are you certain that your pool needs to be painted. Has it been painted before. How old is the pool? Maybe it just needs to be drained and cleaned. You need to be certain that has been painted in the first place.

Do you need a special paint for corrugated steel?
Paint? No. Primer? YES. Corrugated steel is galvanized so you will need an etching galvanized metal primer. Regular paint or primer will peel off in no time! The etching primer as you can guess by the name actually reacts with the steel for a better bond. The steel should be sandblasted beforehand, or al least pressure washed thoroughly. The paint will adhere to the primer. Go to any real paint store (not a big box store with a paint department), let them know what you want to do and they will be glad to help and answer any questions.

Can your mix latex paint with its own tinted primer together and apply as one coat?
It will work over another latex paint, however it won't be as scrubable as a normal top coat, and it won't adhere as well as a paint over a primer. Better to apply the primer, then the paint. If the surface is clean and deglossed though, you really don't need a primer and can coat the surface with a quality wall paint.
Can you paint over a latex high gloss paint with latex primer without sanding first?
You didn't mention whether you were using latex or oil based primer and paint, but generally the point of using primer is so that you can paint over it with any form of wall paint.

On the other hand, if you wanted to paint the primer over the satin gloss, you need to sand the surface lightly to remove the sheen of the paint and provide a suitable surface for the primer to adhere properly.
